NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Marshall Tucker Band is using its tour
truck to collect donations for victims of superstorm Sandy.

The truck is parking outside of the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in
Spartanburg, S.C., today from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The band will be there to thank people. Additional
trucks will be stationed in Anderson and Chesnee, S.C.

In a statement, lead singer Doug Gray says the band has received
support from people in the northeast for over 40 years and feels their pain "on a personal
level."

The Southern rock band is primarily looking to collect coats and
blankets. They encourage people to make cash donations to the American Red Cross.
